In a grid of 10m x 10m a possession game is played in a 4 v 2 situation. Four attacking players are placed outside the orange square.
Players need to pass always on the side first. If the white players win the ball they try to play between them. The Attackers in red, need to win the ball back, when they win the ball from the defenders they need to spread width to the outside.
Rotate players in the middle every 2 minutes.
1. Angle, distance and timing of support
2. Body position when receiving pass - open to field/box
3. Good first touch in order to take away ball from pressure
4. Communication and vision of the game.
